Because people are asking, "What is the $19 for?"
#SpaceHost fully managed Mastodon hosting.
Here's the breakdown of the costs:
1. server - $12 per month
2. backups - $3 per month
3. support + monitoring + management + upgrades + etc. - $4 per month
Yes, we'll be charging less for certain single-user instances -- but they won't be running Mastodon.
